Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted
  • 1 1/4 cups pomegranate seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the muffin tin: Line a 24-cup mini muffin tin with paper liners to ensure easy removal and presentation.
  2. Add melted chocolate: Spoon approximately 2 teaspoons of melted semisweet chocolate into each lined muffin cup, forming the base layer.
  3. Top with pomegranate seeds: Generously sprinkle pomegranate seeds over the chocolate to cover each cup, providing a burst of color and tartness.
  4. Finish with chocolate drizzle: Drizzle a little more melted chocolate over the pomegranate seeds to secure them and add extra chocolate flavor.
  5. Chill to set: Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator and chill until the chocolate is firm, which takes at least 20 minutes but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days for convenience.

Notes

  • Use good quality semisweet chocolate chips for best flavor and melting consistency.
  • Make sure the melted chocolate is smooth and slightly cooled before spooning to prevent melting the cupcake liners.
  • Pomegranate seeds can be stored in the refrigerator ahead of time, making this a quick assembly treat.
  • Store finished Chocolate Pom Poms in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and firm.
  • These treats are naturally gluten-free and vegetarian-friendly.
